2023 Camp Echoing Hills Camp Schedule

Camper ratios are typically 1 staff for every 5 campers if you feel like you or your loved one requires a higher level of attention and care, please sign up for one of our hand over hand weeks.

Mild Disabilities: Mild Developmental disabilities, autism, and/or physical disabilities (ratio 1:4) who are able to take care of the majority of their own personal care. 24×7 medical and medication support provided by our medical team

Moderate Disabilities: The participant can have a staffing ratio of 1:3 and may require some assistance with personal care. If not ambulatory must be able to bear weight to transfer.

Hand over Hand: The participant can have a staffing ratio of 1:2 and may require full assistance with all or some areas of personal care.

Registration includes a non-refundable $50 registration fee. The price of camp has increased to help cover operating costs. We realize many families have extreme costs associated with caring for their loved ones, and we don’t want anyone to miss camp because of the cost. Scholarships are available; however, to ensure our camper financial aid can go as far as possible, we encourage you to seek other support groups before applying for scholarships. Support partners could include your local county respite programs and civic groups including Lions Clubs, Rotary, and Kiwanis. Additionally, waiver funds are accepted at Camp Echoing Hills. Once you have exhausted those options, please request scholarship dollars – made possible by our faithful donors! It is always our goal to give scholarships to everyone who is in need of them.

Camp Echoing Hills

Camp Echoing Hills is a non-profit Christian camp serving adults and children with intellectual or developmental disabilities. We are located in the rolling hills of rural Coshocton County and serve campers through seven weeks of camp each summer. Our camp promotes a strong sense of community and takes great pride in building relationships with the campers we serve. Campers come from all over the state of Ohio and around the country to build memories that will last a lifetime.

What really makes Camp Echoing Hills stand out is not our fun activities or accessible facilities, what makes us “a step above” is our dedication to investing in the lives of the people we serve. We take great joy in the knowledge that we serve everyone that steps into our “little slice of heaven”. Every person that is a part of camp, from our completely genuine and loving campers to our young volunteers serving for the first time, is a valued and cherished part of camp community. A week at Camp is an opportunity for our campers to experience the love of Jesus Christ.

We were founded in 1967, the first ministry of what would eventually grow to become Echoing Hills and have welcomed campers every summer since then. For more information on how you or someone you love can get involved with Camp Echoing Hills, please contact us at 740.327.2311 ext. 1158 or 1159, 800.419.6513 or email at info@ehvi.org.
